The PRC's long-term high speed rail progress.
  • And when was a requirement for communism?

    A stateless, classless, moneyless society. How can a class own something then?

    Absolute nonsense.

    Communism is from each according to their ability, to each according to their want.

    And it’s a centuries long process.

  • What do cats think you are to them?
  • I mean there were actually two “intelligence” explosions for humans, once as Homo Erectus like 2 million years ago. Then again as Homo Heidelbergensis ~ 700,000 years ago. So way before dogs.

    As in we have evidence of H. Erectus with brains as big or even bigger than ours. And by the time of H. Heidelbergensis our brains stabilised around the size they are today.

  • What do cats think you are to them?
  • Dogs 100% were selectively bred to be permanently juvenile as well.

    Dogs have extreme neonatal characteristics. They are basically forever-wolf-puppies.

    Their heads are rounder, eyes bigger, proportions more exaggerated, more playful etc. etc.

    And we actually know the main brain difference between wolves and dogs is that dogs don’t mature basically ever neurologically.

    Wolves are in basically every way smarter than dogs.

    We dumbed down wolves and made them babies forever.

    Our biggest rivals for millennia.

    We are… fucked up.

    Anyways love puppies ❤️

  • People often point to the terrible things in the world as evidence we're living in "the worst timeline". What examples are there of things that suggest our timeline is actually better than it seems?
  • Kinda terrible examples tho…

    Sure “Hitler lost”. Cause he killed himself and stuff. But the Nazis won. The US saved most officers and gave them jobs in NATO and the nascent west German government. Then used them to hunt and undermine communists all over the world. The Nazis themselves kinda won. The Cold War was basically a Nazi war, which they won.

    The south “lost”. But after they lost the US became the most racially segregated country in the world and became the chief inspiration to the Nazis.

    Then the US literally bombed Japan TWICE for no fucking reason other than spooking Stalin.

    You have 3 wrong examples, that actually show we are living in the timeline where the Empire won.

  • World demands end to Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine in landslide UN vote
  • South Korea is literally a US military base disguised as a country. It was a fascist dictatorship for decades, and afterwards it has been ruled by an oligarchy. And it’s 100% lockstep with the US.

    Japan… was that yes. It still is in many ways (Okinawa). But it’s also more independent than SK. It’s closer to the Western European countries in its relation to the US.

    Germany also has a shit ton of US military bases. But it’s not as peripheral as SK.

    Seems pretty obvious to me.

  • Loud and powerful sneezers, have you figured out a way to tame your sneezes?
  • My dad has the same issue and my girlfriend also had. I was able to help her, he is a lost cause.

    But honestly it’s really basic. Just don’t yell while sneezing. Sneeze without vocalising at all. Even if it’s “strong”, it won’t be nearly as loud.

    This is just like “muscle memory”. You one day started yelling while sneezing, and it became subconscious.

    If you consciously try to not do it every time you sneeze, that too will become subconscious and “muscle memory”.

  • China says it is ending foreign adoptions, prompting concern from US
  • I’m not sure if what you shared invalidates what I said at all… Wikipedia is 1st of all not the best source for these kinds of things. But even they say the policy only applied to 35.4% of the population only 4 years after it was first implemented. And it was loosened up even more over time.

    What are you trying to say with that quote..?

  • Germany never De-Nazified
  • The Soviets kept the Nazi scientists in prison tho… and after they finished their work they were left to rot.

    Stalin famously wanted to execute every single military officer from Nazi Germany after the war, and Churchill threw a hissy fit saying “they didn’t deserve it, they were just protecting their country like any good (white, racist) man would!”.

    And then the US “rehabilitated” many of the Nazis and put them into positions of power, in the West German US occupied territories, in the nascent NATO, in the US itself….
